During October, Panera Bread will offer
pink ribbon-shaped bagels in all of its bakery cafes for National Breast Cancer Awareness month. The pink bagel features cherry
chips and real bits of Bing cherries and cranberries. The bagel was created in 2001 by Sue
Stees, one of Panera Bread's first franchisees
and a breast cancer survivor.
"Panera Bread is committed to serving the members of the local community,
many of whom have had their lives touched
by breast cancer," said Ron Shaich, c.e.o.,
Panera Bread, Richmond Heights, MO. "We
are honored to support the Susan G. Komen Foundation and various organizations
fighting to find a cure for breast cancer."
The company will donate a portion of
the proceeds from each pink ribbon bagel
sold to a variety of breast cancer causes, including the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer
Foundation and Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization.
